Study for Tuesday February 19

Hey ladies!

Thanks to Lydia for organizing Tuesday's service activity and for those that came. What a great night! Can't wait to share with everyone on Tuesday. If anyone wants to post some comments up about your experience please do.

Here are the verses for next week's study and some questions to think about as you go through the readings that we will discuss. Lydia, Carmel, & Jess are up for providing dinner. See you at Em's place at 7 p.m.!

Matthew 3:13 - 17 Luke 3:21 John 1: 32-34
What was the importance of baptism throughout scripture?
What was the significance of Jesus' baptism? Why was it necessary? Where else do we see Jesus refer to baptism?

Matthew 4:1-11 Luke 4: 1-13
What is happening here? Why do you think Jesus was faced with these temptations by Satan?
How does Jesus respond?
Have you ever come off a high with God and felt under attack by Satan soon after? Perhaps after feeling called to a specific ministry or relationship or job? Have you felt spiritually disconnected? Not fed? Why do you think Satan chooses these times to tempt or attack us?

What do we need to be careful of in ministry when serving others? What are some temptations we may face to deter us from actively participating in serving God's kingdom?

Service Opp. #1

Hi Everyone!

It was great to see those of you who were there on Tuesday evening, and for those who could not make it, we definitely missed you!

So, here are the details for the service project next Tuesday:

We will be spending time with some lovely elderlies at the Stoddard Baptist (Nursing) Home located at 1818 Newton St. NW.

Our group will meet at the Cleveland Park Metro Station (Red line) at 6:50-6:55 to load up into the three cars (Jess and Laura, Skye, and mine) to drive the 5 minutes to the home.

For those of you that can make it earlier, there was mention of grabbing dinner at California Tortilla, I think Skye will be heading that up. :)

We are planning on making Valentine's Day cards with the residents, so get ready to be creative. :)

Thank you in advance to those of you who are coming next week, we are so excited to serve with you all!

Lydia

Welcome BACK!!

Hey ladies! Get ready for a great semester starting in just one week! Emily, Lydia, & I are excited to lead this group and look forward to all that God is going to show us and teach us together. See you next Tuesday at Emily's Apartment at 7 p.m. in Woodley Park! Email one of us if you still need the directions!

Taking a break

So we are taking a break for this fall semester.... stay tuned in the spring for what's to come.

Week of Justice Schedule

Really encourage you guys to go check out one of the week of justice events one night this week. The event on Thursday night will be at Senate Park off Constitution Ave. And please continue to keep Carmel and the rest of the Uganda team in your prayers.

How is it August already?

Although I missed you girls this week, I have to say that the family vacation in Florida was much needed. It was great to get out of DC for a few days and I've accepted the fact that I am in a long distance relationship with the beach and, although it was hard to say goodbye, I'm happy to be back in DC. And yes those are my chubby feet, not my 4 year old niece's!

Okay so here's what's going on this week:

WEEK OF JUSTICE!

Come out to Ebz this Sunday for the kick off of Week of Justice. The team I went to Kenya with will be starting off the week sharing about our experience. You will also learn about ways you can get involved in missions and how you can use the resources God has given you to bless others. So, if you aren't tired of hearing me talk about Kenya yet, come out and listen to me talk about it some more Sunday night starting at 6p.m. If I can find the final schedule of the other events going on each night next week then I'll post them for you. Or if someone else has it please post.

SCREEN ON THE GREEN

Monday, August 6 - Bring a picnic, a blanket, & a frisbee and come out to see "All the Kings Men" playing on the lawn inbetween the Capitol Bldg. & the Wash. Monument. The movie starts at sundown but plan to get there early for a spot. I'll head down after work and throw the frisbee with whoever wants to run around before the movie!

Anything else?

Sending Carmel off with Prayer, Love and Soap

And many thanks to Lisa for the toys! :)
